I got a tattoo done by Kenneth back in November. I put off writing this review for so long because…read morehe was a very nice guy, but I feel the need to warn others about my experience. I was planning on getting a very small four-leaf clover tattoo. Since it would be so small, I decided to just do a walk-in. I showed him a reference photo, which was a dainty, simple line art tattoo, and I'll include a picture of it below. Instead of going off of the reference photo, he proceeded to google four-leaf clover designs and scroll until he found one I agreed to. I am obviously at fault here for not standing my ground, but I found it kind of weird and I felt too uncomfortable to say no. As he was tattooing me, I felt him pressing SUPER hard. My first tattoo was on my chest, yet it was less painful than this one was, because of how hard he was pressing the needle into my skin. I still have some raised lines on my tattoo which I'm worried is permanent scarring. I wanted fairly thin lines (like in the reference photo I showed him) but he gave me pretty thick lines, without asking me or communicating with me about it at all. Almost immediately after I got the tattoo, I noticed the ink was starting to blow out. Again, this was my second tattoo, so I already knew how to care for it properly and I followed the aftercare instructions to a T. The lines on my tattoo have blown out and become even thicker, while some spots are missing a lot of ink. It's overall very splotchy and uneven. i'll attach a photo of it below. Between the lack of communication and the seeming disregard of what I requested, I have been very hurt by this experience. I paid $118 (not including tip), and I honestly feel like I was completely ripped off. I would have been fine with paying that if the tattoo had turned out decent. Now I have to pay even more to find another artist who can try to fix it. I realize I have fault in this too for not sticking up for myself or even just leaving, but I still feel like this experience is worthy of a negative review. I don't know about the other artists working at this Beelistic location, but I would advise not to go to Ken for your tattoos.

My first experience at UniquInk was this past Saturday (3.29.2025), with Sara. We texted during the…read moreweek to improve the design I suggested for a lower back tattoo. Sara created 3 alternatives and was open to changes so I was happy with the very detailed design. Upon my arrival, Sara greeted me promptly and warmly. She took the necessary time resizing the stencil for proper fit and placement in the area. Music was on during the entire tattooing process, which I loved and provided distraction. Sara is extremely personable, upbeat, and kind. We took a couple of breaks over the approximately two hours' tattooing, which afforded me time to hydrate. Sara made sure I was as comfortable as possible while she worked, and our conversation was enjoyable. At my request, she took a couple photos with my phone when the tattoo was complete. I was blown away by the finished product; it was completely worth the time and any discomfort. (For those unfamiliar, the lower back is a high pain area.) Sara is an amazingly talented, dedicated artist who is concerned with her clients' complete satisfaction with the body art for which they come to her. I am interested in additional tattoos and will definitely book again with Sara. The studio itself is very clean and has a relaxed, cool atmosphere. I've also met the owner, Mel, who has a wicked sense of humor and is an excellent artist. Parking is convenient and plentiful. I would recommend UniquInk Tattoos to everyone!

I have 11 cartridge piercings all of which were done at a tattoo shop. On my 18th birthday a few…read moremonths back I decided I wanted to get another piercing but at Rowan! Licensed nurses doing the piercings and a very aesthetically pleasing environment defiantly drew me in. I got my right side tragus piercing which just a basic charm. When we went to leave it was $130 for this piercing. $130 for one piercing with a basic piece of jewelry is insane pricing. Anyways, the swelling and tenderness of the piercing was normal and I was using the cleaning spray they recommended at checkout which was $20! On day two and three started to notice a lump beneath my ear, soon to find out this grape size lump was my lymph node and my piercing was extremely infected. From my 11 other cartilage piercings and having my thirds on my ear lobes I have never experienced something like this. I made an appt at my Dr office just to be sent to urgent care because there was a cyst inside where the tragus sat. I had to get the cyst trained and was on antibiotics for just over a week from this infection that come to find out after sending a swab to the lab... it was MRSA! I would not recommend Rowan, from the pricing to the multiple people from across other Rowan locations that have had the same outcome as me. Find a good tattoo shop, and stick with the same piercer. Also, I did call and was told I signed a waiver and all they could do was take the piercing out for me. I was so sad but not surprised.

Originally we had an amazing experience getting my daughter's ears pierced for the first time…read more Everyone was incredibly kind and my daughter did wonderful. After 7 or so weeks I decided to take her back to pick out new earrings. I had previously consulted with someone online as I was having a difficult time getting the back off of the earring. As I was in the middle of a sentence talking to an employee about this she put a pair of gloves on , walked over to my daughter who was looking at earrings across the store and yanked out of of her earrings. My daughter who had no idea this was going to happen was obviously upset. I tried to calm her down but she was struggling and I really wanted to put an earring back in her ear before it closed but she was scared and incredibly upset as she said her ear was hurting bad and she was afraid it was going to hurt. As I was talking to my daughter trying to calm her down the employee told my daughter she "doesn't have a lot of patience so she needed to sit down". I ended up paying for one of the three sets of earrings putting the other ones back and walking out into the mall, calming her down and putting in the original earring back in her ear. Very disappointed with the way that was handled on her part. We will not be returning

They know what they are doing and knows how to handle and calm the first timer's anxiety. Jeff was pretty straight forward and I liked his professionalism. He told me that how the pain will feel and it will be not painful as I assumed. When he started, I felt a weird mix of pain and tickle sensations at the same time that I said to him, "That's It!, That's the Pain....! Hmmm..... weird but I can take it." He said yes and I just handled it like nothing is happening to my skin. LOL! I will recommend all the artists in here for the people who are first time. I am happy and glad that I went to Mother's tattoo and got my first tat. Thanks Jeff, you're the best!

Jewelry that was put in was the type that inserts from the back and has a ball that screws in from the front. After they had healed and I went to change the jewelry one of the earrings had been screwed on so tightly I couldn't remove it. Stopped in to have them unscrew it. 30 seconds total (using a hemostat to clamp the earring to remove) and she charged me another $10. Nobody mentioned this charge at all when I asked if someone could try to unscrew it or when I was called back to have it done. Great way to drum up extra business. Secure the jewelry so tight you have to return and they have to remove it with a hemostat. Then tack on an additional fee. I've had other friends with bad up-charge experiences too. One friend called to see how much it would to have her ears pierced and was told $50 over the phone. She ended up getting double piercings thinking it would be $100 and walked out with a bill over $300! Be sure to ask what the total charges are before you even sit down and get it in writing if you have to use their services. Or better yet, go somewhere else.

The staff isn't that friendly, are shouting F YOU and MOTHERF*CKER, Suck my *ss! through the store and outside smoking every 10 min. The guy who did the piercing was nice but bitched the whole time about bad reviews he's had (both times I've been here). I asked for forward helix and rook, and he explained I don't have the anatomy for a rook. Ok, settled on cartilage to balance out other ear. I've had 12 piercings, numerous being cartilage and never once have I gotten 18 barbells in them? The ones he put in were way too big. Catching on everything. Thought the fwd helix looked odd, so I went to where I've gotten All of my other piercings to have them change the jewelry and look at the helix. The cartilage location and gauge was great, it just needed a flat back post so it could swell, but not move around that much or risk being caught on something. I had to have the helix taken out because it wasn't going to heal in that spot, with a barbell, and it's not what I wanted.
